"Sir, you didn't arrest the wrong person, did you? Ahem, Paislin, please speak!"
The incredible voice of the circus leader came from the scene, but there was only the silent sound of armor clashing in the air. After Paislin finished speaking to Woody, his eyes were dull and he completely lost his energy. He did not argue or even
Like a zombie, he was at the mercy of the city guards.
"Your Excellency Kuruman, please don't block the road. If you want to know the details of the case, you can go to the executive office and apply for investigation."
The guard captain Weller's voice was full of anger and he stopped Kuruman who was looking quite excited.
He didn't have time to explain. With the increase in the number of people around the scene, there were already a few whispers of controversy. So Weller looked at the growing crowd of onlookers. He directly chose the fastest way, drew his weapon directly, and
The sharp blade is quite dazzling in the sun, which makes people feel chilling.
The news he had received earlier was to arrest the man named Paislin. He did not pay attention to other people. After all, the person behind it was...
Thinking about it, he glanced at the wooden door where the black-haired young man was standing just now from the corner of his eye, but found that at some point, the person there had disappeared.
…
On the other side, looking at a row of data appearing in front of his eyes, he let out a sigh of admiration.
——"+1 Onyx War Horse Statue"
——"Item effect: This translucent agate black statue is a lifelike depiction of a plateau war horse with a handsome appearance. Contractors can use this statue to summon a plateau war horse through simple gestures, and it will completely obey your orders. Life
The value is the same as that of a normal horse, but it does not need to rest, and it lasts for one day."
——"Everyone who arrives in the Ten Towns will buy some souvenirs there, and the agate statue is the most popular among them. At the same level, the black panther is the most expensive, followed by the war horse - Multiverse Travel Guide"
“It’s really good.”
Woody played with the statue he had just received, holding it in his hands without any psychological burden and observing it carefully. Even though the agate appeared obsidian in the sunlight, it also highlighted the wonderful color and charm in the nearly translucent material.
Typical "Agate Statue"
This is another method used by many spellcasters to save a spell slot and enhance their own strength. In the final analysis, these lifelike agate statues are essentially no different from golems, except that the former may be a low-end version of the latter.
However, it is easier to carry and has different focuses.
The agate statue in his hand is simply used as a means of transportation, and its effect is the same as that of a normal horse. In addition to not having to worry about death, it has all the advantages of a horse that the maker could have thought of.
Its endurance is nearly infinite, and its speed and strength are comparable to those of normal traveling horses.
The only pity is that it is probably impossible to enter the "Dead Magic Zone".
But Woody had no intention of going to that place. Apart from the sky full of sand and the bad weather, there were only underground bugs that were willing to be with them.
As for what happened behind the scenes, Woody has a clear conscience. The best ending is for the criminal to go to prison to repent. He is not worthy of sympathy. The only thing worthy of criticism is that he exchanged it for rare items at a low price. But
In the final analysis, he is just willing to admit defeat and insists on lashing out. Then he is just making the same mistake as any adventurer.
However, when Woody led the traveling horse in the mule and horse market, which he now renamed "Grape", into the caravan district, preparing to find a caravan leaving the city for the Northland, he felt a sense of voyeurism and followed
Looking up in the direction, he found that he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
The mage clerk of the arcane shop, Tver, processed the earth troll crystals he initially obtained and the drow staff he recently acquired in the arcane shop he was responsible for.
But what he didn't expect was that he would meet him here.
The spy just now seemed like a sudden glimpse. Woody was not sure if Tver had seen him. Seeing that he was still walking normally, he had no idea of going up to say hello. Tver also came and went in a hurry and quickly disappeared in the business hotel.
blocks away.
But just as Woody was leading Grape into the crowd, at the end of the direction where Tver appeared, a large caravan with hundreds of people was preparing to go out in the open like other caravans. The blue-eyed Northland with a high forehead and nose
Merchants and slaves are busy making various preparations before leaving. The horses are all fed fat and strong. Their reins are connected to a carriage filled with goods, and there are also many traveling carriages for people to live in.
.
In the largest carriage, one could vaguely hear the sound of gold coins falling. Soon someone came to the carriage. This was a businessman dressed in a Northland style. Judging from his age, he should be a member of the caravan.
Although he was an elder, he still knelt on one knee respectfully in front of the carriage.
"Sir, what do you need me to do?"
A rather lazy female voice soon sounded in the carriage, and she gave instructions to the businessman under the carriage.
"Go and see what help he needs. Take care of him secretly and don't let him find out. This little guy is quite alert."
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusion formed by smoke appeared in front of the businessman's eyes. It was Woody who was walking among the crowd just now, leading the horse. Even his look was reproduced exactly.
"By the way, bring me another...half bag of gold coins and half a bag of pearls."
When the female voice spoke this, she was gnashing her teeth and feeling helpless. There was also a snoring sound coming from the carriage. It was obvious that there was more than one person in the carriage.
After hearing this, the businessman did not dare to be careless. He even claimed that as the apparent leader of the caravan, he knew very well the reason why he could become bigger and stronger. Therefore, he quickly disappeared from the caravan.
among.
…
Elsewhere, Woody has once again found Mr. Kraft, the reputable agent in the business district, and his enthusiasm is naturally undiminished when he sees Woody coming back.
"Don't worry, I will definitely introduce you to a reliable caravan this time. I will tell you what good places to go in the Kovar Forest. But since your guest has already made up his mind to go to Losente, that's the best. You can
So, out of ten caravans heading north from Palermo, eight will pass through Los Cente."
"In less than half a day, I will arrange it for you. The reputation and safety level are definitely among the top among the caravans."
Although Woody didn't know whether Kraft was promising himself or whether he was taking out a bag containing a lot of gold coins to promise him, in short, he didn't mind, as long as he was fast enough.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too few caravans from Palermo to the Covar Forest, he would actually choose to search for them on his own. This was considered a no-win solution. As for the subsequent arrival in Losente, he could only rely on himself.
To transfer manually.
What he was thinking about was that since Palermo was not available, he would first arrive at the first stop on the way to the Covar Forest - the free city of Los Cente.
Losente is a free city-state located between the Kingdom of the Moon Sea and the Kingdom of Bavialo. It not only has the largest deep-water port on the west coast, but also borders the Hessen Plain, the only road to the Northland.
The economy and trade started, but because of the anarchy there, it is also known as the Smuggling Paradise. You can buy everything there, even elven slaves who have been included in the illegal regulations of other human countries since the Golden Year.
Trade can still be seen in the slave market there.
The name of freedom is evident.
When arriving in Losente, there should be many caravans heading to the Moonsea Kingdom, instead of continuing to follow the road north and crossing the Haisen Plain. At that time, they can take a car to cross or arrive at the border of the Moonsea Kingdom.
The free ride will be stable.
As for the road ahead, he can definitely walk it by himself. After all, it's not like he hasn't walked it in his last life.
After thinking about this, Woody's heart, which was originally unable to leave due to the disbandment of the caravan, calmed down a lot. At this time, while waiting for the news, he went directly to the place where they agreed to meet later - an inconspicuous tavern.
, like other people in the tavern, he was sitting leisurely on a chair and drinking locally brewed fruit wine. There was not much nervousness on his face, and he did not look like an adventurer traveling for the first time.
He thought it was a long-awaited rest, but he had just drank half a glass of fruit wine, and was still thinking about various mission events that had been triggered on the next route, when the door of the tavern was opened with a clang, and the shutters squeaked.
The sound of yapping and the wheezing sounds of the visitor resounded in the warm tavern. This did not attract too many people's attention, but Woody raised his eyebrows slightly.
Not because of anything else, but because the person who came was none other than the agent Kraft, who had sworn to seal the deal with him not long ago. The two eyes on his chubby face were glancing back and forth in the small tavern, as if he was looking for something.
, Woody, who was hiding in a corner of the tavern, naturally knew it, so he raised his hand and said hello.
After Kraft saw Woody, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Found it, found it!"
"What did you find?" Woody nonchalantly pushed another glass of fruit wine to Kraft, who was sitting across the wine table, and motioned for him to take a sip of wine and take a breath before chatting again.
Kraft was not polite. He raised his glass and drank two-thirds of it before squinting his eyes and laughing loudly.
"Of course I found you and asked me to find a big business group that can help you."
Obviously, he was very confident about the name of this business group, but he did not hide it. Instead, he looked around and made a silent code word with his mouth. Woody saw it, but his eyebrows did not show joy.
Because the business group that accepted him turned out to be the extremely xenophobic "Wrath of Winter Caravan". This name may not be very familiar, but almost all the people in the North knew about the behemoth standing behind him.
Navia, the land of winter.
This is one of the few human city-state kingdoms ruled by mages instead of kings and parliaments. In the sparsely populated tundra with bone-chilling winds, the capital, Komilan, can even maintain a spring-like environment all year round. The climate is suitable, and
Among them, the spells that change the environment play an important role.
But why would a business group with a royal background come to him?
"What's going on? Why did the Nudong Business Group contact me?"
Woody hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask clearly. He even doubted whether he had seen it wrong. Could it be that it was not Nudong, but that other business groups were also called Nudong?
"It's like this. There is a businessman friend of mine who I know. Originally I didn't plan to contact him, but when I asked casually, I didn't expect that he was actually willing to bring a few customers with me. It is said that the reason is because of the dumping southward and the selling was too fast.
There is no time to stop and buy at all. If he continues like this, he will lose money, so he plans to use the vacant carriage to recruit some people. When the time comes, just tell the manager that you are a distant relative of him."
"I don't need to say more about the safety of the Furious Winter Caravan. There are really powerful spellcasters in their team."
Kraft tried very hard to talk about the causes and consequences, but Woody was a little caught off guard. Although what he said was correct, every time the Furious Winter Merchant Group went out to trade, they would be equipped with one or several spellcasters from the Thousand Towers Society as protectors and supervisors.
Everyone will obey his orders. After all, in the hearts of most people, apart from being mysterious, the best synonym for a spell caster is powerful. With his presence, some serious crises can cause the annihilation of a caravan.
It can also be easily solved.
But it wasn't without overturning. Woody also remembered that in the early days of the game, there seemed to be a Raging Winter merchant group that was coveted, resulting in the entire army being wiped out. At that time, Woody also took over the relevant investigation tasks, but the destroyed group
The Nudong Merchant Group takes the sea route, so there is no need to worry about the land route.
Moreover, it seems that Tver from the secret shop also appeared in the business district for this reason?
"How about it? Do you agree? If you agree, I will go and communicate with my friend now."
"You have to hurry up. I heard that we will leave soon. Time is running out."
Kraft's urging was a little urgent, as if he really ran out of time, but Woody thought about it and finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll go with you now."
If it is really the Furious Winter Merchant Group, then his journey in the past few days will be extremely safe and comfortable. After all, the people in the North are so cruel that they will beat dogs on the roadside in the south, including ordinary monsters, kobolds, and goblins.
They ran away before the fight even started.
The only pity is that they can't go all the way to the end. Although they can follow this team all the way to Northland, the time spent with the team will be multiplied by multiples, and the Northland they return to is different from Woody's imaginary planet.
The place where the Boundary Whale appeared was completely different. Instead of taking a roundabout way, he preferred to get there in one step.
Therefore, even if he temporarily joined the Nudong Merchant Group, Woody's general plan has not changed.
However, he had already planned what he would do in the caravan, that is, in the coming days, he would carve it out carefully and make at least one more natural shrine.
Otherwise, he would not dare to pray now. Since the divinity of the Spider Goddess still exists in it, the spare slots of the Spirit Hunting Pledge cannot be used.
You don't know when it will become a bomb that detonates itself, and a backup natural shrine becomes a daily necessity.
And Woody soon led Putao and under the guidance of the employment agency Kraft, he joined this famous business group that he had only heard of in his previous life.
